I have no desire to rely on the government for my lifestyle, but what happens when lazy people demand benefits and my taxes skyrocket?

"but what happens when lazy people demand benefits and my taxes skyrocket?"

You're preaching to the choir on this issue. To group people into a category and 'blame' them is counterproductive. The real issue is personal responsibility, illegals qualifying for benefits (thank you Jimmy Carter) and a complete overhaul of this failing system.

Just try operating your own business and you become quite clear that 12.5% for SS & 2% medicare/cade is quite cumbersome each week. Then knowing it is for nothing is depressing. I see those on the dole sometimes in the same lite you do but it is the system that needs changing, not blaming folks that happened to be born in the 50's and 60's. Hell, we've been carrying the load all along. We've outlived our usefulness I guess. The democrats are always trying to divide the classes. Don't fall for this one.
